Cooking Tips

Add sugar, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time:
When making meringues and some cakes, sugar is best slowly added to beaten egg whites. This serves to increase the stability of the foam. Sugar, however, can retard the foaming of the whites and must be added slowly so as not to decrease the volume. Beat the whites until foamy, and then slowly beat in the sugar.

Sophie Gray's perfect scrambled eggs

Scrambled eggs are great on their own with a slice
of toast or rolled in a tortilla. Try them served with
French Toast and bacon, or styled up with a sliver or
two of smoked salmon.

2 eggs per person
1 tsp butter
¼ cup milk
Salt and pepper to season

  1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over a medium heat. While the butter is melting, break the eggs into a small bowl.
  2. Add the milk and a pinch of salt and pepper and whisk lightly with a fork. When the butter is bubbling reduce the heat to low.
  3. Pour in the beaten egg and when it starts to set, stir the mixture gently with a wooden spoon until it forms soft curds and there is no runny egg left. Spoon the scrambled eggs onto a warmed plate or onto toast or a tortilla.

Cook's tip: You can use cooking spray instead of butter and substitute full fat milk with trim to make this healthy meal even healthier. Or, for a bit of decadence, use cream instead of milk and top with chopped parsley or chives.
